The new policy touches on issues of Facebook and email communication between students and teachers and would allow more interaction between the two.

"Technology and the Internet are moving at a rapid pace," Clark said. "While many
districts ban its use outright, we have taken a different approach, we are looking to
include it within the curriculum to help develop digital citizenship. "

The policy outlines ways in which teachers, students and parents can use the Internet as a way to communicate with each other. Not only through the use of the school website, but through social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.

"Now is really the time to get community feedback on the policy. We want to hear their comments and concerns so that a final version of the policy can be put in the manual," he said.

Clark, plans to present this policy to the Massachusetts Association of School Committee’s at its annual conference in Hyannis in November.
